Lactofiltrum, tablets 500 mg 60 pcs

The pharmacological action of the drug is due to the properties of the constituent active ingredients – lignin and lactulose.

Lignin hydrolysis is a natural enterosorbent consisting of products of hydrolysis of wood components, it has high sorption activity and non-specific detoxifying effect.

Binds in the intestine and removes pathogenic bacteria and bacterial toxins, medications, salts of heavy metals, alcohol, allergens, as well as excess of certain metabolic products, including bilirubin, cholesterol, histamine, serotonin, urea and other metabolites responsible for the development of endogenous toxicity. It is non-toxic, not absorbed, completely eliminated from the intestine within 24 hours.

Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide whose molecule consists of galactose and fructose residues. Lactulose is not absorbed and is not hydrolyzed in the stomach and upper intestines. Lactulose released from the tablets is fermented in the large intestine as a substrate by normal intestinal microflora, stimulating the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.

Lactulose hydrolysis in the large intestine produces organic acids – lactic, acetic and formic acids, which inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms and reduce the production of nitrogenous toxic substances.

The process described leads to increase of osmotic pressure in the lumen of the large intestine and stimulation of peristalsis. The complex action of the preparation is aimed at normalization of microbiocenosis of the large intestine and reduction of intensity of endogenous toxic conditions.

The use of the preparation in complex therapy of bacterial vaginosis (vaginal dysbiosis) leads to increase of efficiency of therapy including the increase of lactobacillus number in the vagina and the effective suppression of opportunistic flora growth.
